Maybe if they could just stop thinking about ‘homosexual practices’ they could free up the poor mind space they have and sort out the real problems of the world, not things that make a better, stable society.

Nasty excuse for a human being. Why do these people get to be in position of power. It’s just disgusting.

… and why do you think they think about ‘homosexual practices’ so often …? What is it about them that so fascinates them … and gets them hot under the collar? Could it be that the mopre homophobic you are, the harder you are fighting your inner same-sex attractions? In my experience, ALL homophobia – whether in politics or playground – is driven by the fear of someone’s inner-angst about same-sex attraction being exposed. “Show me a homophobe; I’ll show you a closet case”. “Me Thinks The Lady Doth Protest Too Loudly”. Self-loathing manifests itself in strange ways ….

They ‘assume’ gay people are promiscuous because that’s actually what THEY’D like to be but are held back by their ‘conditioning’ – usually religious. These same people will say, ‘People choose to be gay’. This can ONLY be said by someone who has made a choice NOT to be gay. How else can they say, with such certainty, that homosexuality is a ‘choice’? These bigots say many things without a scrap of evidence … but all based on their own secret, inner thoughts and feelings. The sooner we can rid the world of religious anti-gay conditioning, the sooner we can all get along and do whatever comes naturally without some patriarchial god-botherer moralising and screwing with people’s heads.

Marco Feliciano doesn’t represent most brazilians, I hardly think boycotting the entire country is particularly productive, especially since most of them are supporting a massive media campaign to kick him out.

Yes, he’s at least as renowned for his racism and greed as for his homophobia. I think it’s hard not to underestimate the power of prejudice disguised as mumbo-jumbo in supposedly religious people – it’s worth noting that he’s a pastor in the “Assembly of God”, and has faced proceedings for larceny in relation to preaching fees.

So that means they are choosing to be straight? I think its become a cliche that every “phobe” is categorised as “closet”.
Xenophobes more likely.
A narrow mind and an entrenched set of precepts and concepts is a wonderful life for them.
I could talk like they do about us; maybe they just need good sex from a person of the same gender and that will cure them..
PLeease stop referring to these idealogical creatures as people who are gay like myself; that statement is more than I can tolerate..

Sadly, those with bigoted views, those who are racist, or hold any other sort of prejudices against others for being who they were born to be are lacking both empathy and compassion. Both of these attributes are REQUIRED to serve people, as this person was apprently chosen to do. Such people are little factories of hatred and bigotry, spreading their evil throughout a society. This man needs to be gone, permanently instead of heading a “human rights commission” or a “minority commission”. Apparently Brasil politicians are being strongly influenced by the Catholic church as well as american evangelicals, both known hate groups.

WE need to get down and dirty with these assholes. Follow them, dig up their past and show all the hiden skeletons in their closets. Believe me with this slimball there will be plenty. Out them and be rid of his kind.
